Maryland Center for History and Culture Overview

Located in the heart of the Mount Vernon cultural district, two blocks west of the Washington Monument, the Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) offers a unique and historic venue for weddings, meetings, and other special events. From classically elegant to strikingly modern to a touch of nature in an urban setting – the MCHC has a one of a kind venue ready for your next event. Offer your guests a unique experience – host your next event surrounded by over 400 years of Maryland history. We offer a number of different meeting and event spaces at our property including a beautiful outdoor courtyard, a versatile auditorium, meeting rooms, classrooms and more...all for, perhaps, the best pricing in the Baltimore area. On top of this we are able to offer secured on site parking and other great amenities that no other venue can match. Our pricing is incredibly competitive and we are confident you will not be able to find a better value for your money in such an amazing facility. As an added bonus MCHC members also may qualify for a 10 to 20% discount on room rentals. The prices listed on this site are typically based on a four hour rental time. Many of our prices can be customized for the particular event. Please reach out to us to discuss pricing and dates. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a tour!
